Bug Description
Binary package hint: restricted-manager
Install Fiesty Beta 7.04
Use synaptic to install nvidia-glx (nvidia-
XvMCConfig is left pointing to the xorg XvMC not the nVidia one.
careys@hereford:~$ cat /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
libXvMC.so.1
and it should contain
libXvMCNVIDIA_
This is manifest by video playing in totem/vlc/mplayer with audio correctly played but a black screen, and if the window is resized or moved then there are rendering artifacts.
If I change the contents of /etc/X11/XvMCConfig to point to the nVidia library then video plays back correctly.

To further clarify, the problem with video playback appears to be that I ran renouveau --xvmc=1 (http:// nouveau. freedesktop. org/wiki/ REnouveau) prior to trying to play video back.
See IrcLogs at http:// lattice. u-strasbg. fr/irclogs/ nouveau- 2007-04- 08 and http:// lattice. u-strasbg. fr/irclogs/ nouveau- 2007-04- 09
If I leave /etc/X11/XvMCConfig pointing to libXvMC.so.1 and restart X then video playback prior to running renouveau --xvmc=1 works correctly
NOT A BUG
